Set AJAX timeout in Octoaprse

Q: Where will I set AJAX timeout in Octoparse?

Description:

I don't see any indication of where to alter the AJAX timeout settings.

My task is setting up through the Wizard mode to extract data from multiple urls. I don't see any place in that process to alter timeout settings. When I try setting up a task in Advanced mode, I also don't see any place to alter timeout settings as I'm setting up the workflow. 

  

A:

If you are using the Wizard mode to extract data, you need to transfer to Advanced mode first.

After you open a task and go to the interface to configure the rule in the "Workflow Designer", you will see that there are ten actions on the left hand side of the workflow. However, only some of them have the AJAX timeout settings in the Advanced Options.

 

Click Item/Click to Paginate

Click the "Click Item/Click to Paginate" in the Workflow, click the arrow up icon in the upper right corner to open the Advanced Options.

Tick the "AJAX load" and select the timeout. Don't forget to click Save.

 

Switch Dropdown

Click the "Switch Dropdown" in the Workflow, click the arrow up icon in the upper right corner to open the Advanced Options.

Tick the "AJAX load" and select the timeout. Don't forget to click Save.

 

Cursor Over

Click the "Cursor Over" in the Workflow, click the arrow up icon in the upper right corner to open the Advanced Options.

Tick the "AJAX load" and select the timeout. Don't forget to click Save.
